I love the Hagi-esque spout on the new kyusus. What are the filters like?

They are built right into the wall, small holes but not super tiny, theres a picture on the link. I was thinking about speed of pour when I decided on those spouts. I also made a good few of these lidless kyuso for really fast pours (no air resistance) and just all around ease of use, perhaps a travel teapot, or maybe for hojicha and such. Probably not for those who are set in their was though I dunno, I just like experimenting.http://www.etsy.com/listing/85528778/fu ... -iron-rich

I'm having a need-to-make-room-in-the-studio-because-all-these-pots-are-in-my-way-and-it's-driving-me-crazy-sale Here's one of the houjin prototypes I was working on a while back, it's an ugly little duckling but will function great, it pours perfect.

Pulled out a couple of pieces today from the kiln that represent a slightly new direction in my work. This little guy is about 100 ml. filled to the rim. I've been pretty busy in the studio and have made a lot of new teaware that should be finished up very soon. Stay tuned http://www.etsy.com/listing/93023181/te ... i-crawling
